THE REMARKABLES SKI AREA

Start your ski adventure on The Remarkables' amazing ski slopes. The 1.2km new Curvy Basin chairlift will whisk you to the top of the mountain, even if you’re just starting out. If you’re a complete novice, the sun-drenched learners’ area is the perfect place. Fancy venturing further afield? There are backcountry runs and black diamond runs to challenge the most accomplished skiers or riders. There are some awesome snow terrain parks to check out too.

After a day on the slopes, there is nothing better than soaking in a hot spa or enjoying a therapeutic massage before hitting the town for the evening.
